retroCRUSH: The World’s Greatest Pop Culture Site

Here is a top 100 list of complaints about 2005. This is an outstanding list, probably the best there is. Readers may want to add a few of their own in the commentary — if you can think of any!

Here are some random examples:

74 NICK AND JESSICA
1,000 years from now, archaeologists will look at our news publications and figure that this celebrity duo must have been king and queen of the world. Why anyone is interested in these empty headed no-talent morons is a mystery to all mankind. I’m against The Patriot Act, but I’d be willing to sacrifice our civil liberties a bit to permit the government to put anyone who ever bought a Jessica Simpson record on a special island and do some bomb testing. Not only would you collectively increase the nation’s IQ, but you’d stick it to Wal-Mart by getting rid of 80% of their customer base.

72 CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER
Why hasn’t somebody sued him for false advertising yet?

71 TERRY SHIAVO HYPE
The round the clock coverage of both sides of the argument of whether or not to pull Shiavo’s feeding tube was shameful. A South Park episode in which Kenny was on life support summed it up perfectly…you can’t die with dignity with 8,000 cameras pointed at you.

70 ASHTON KUTCHER
How stupid do you have to be for this dope to pull a prank on you?

52 ALAN COLMES
The Ichabod Crane of the liberal media is hardly a formidable foil to his overbearing and pompous partner Sean Hannity on their creatively titled TV show, Hannity & Colmes.

51 DICK CHENEY
Not since Asslick Johnson has there been a more aptly named Vice President in our country’s history.

27 E HARMONY FOUNDER DR. E CLARK WARREN
Watching this creepy fellow hawk his online dating service is like hearing your grandpa talk about how hot grandma is.

26 THANKSGIVING NEWS BROADCASTS
This just in…airports are crowded, and traffic is really bad on Thanksgiving Day! British Parliament could get nuked on that day, and the story would still follow this insipid coverage.
